Our Mission & Story
Nourishing Our Community with Compassion and Hope
For more than 25 years, El Reno Blessing Baskets has been dedicated to serving financially challenged households throughout Western Canadian County by providing food and other essentials needed for healthy living.
What began in 1999 as a community effort to help neighbors in need has grown into a year-round organization serving children, families and seniors through programs designed to address food insecurity with compassion, dignity and respect.
Today, Blessing Baskets operates multiple programs that provide nutritious groceries during school breaks, food assistance for seniors, holiday meals and gifts through the Christmas Baskets Program and more.
Every program is made possible through the generosity of volunteers, donors, churches, businesses, civic organizations and community partners who share a common belief: no one should have to face hunger alone.
As the needs of our community continue to grow, so does our commitment to providing hope, nourishment, and support for our neighbors.
